What do you think? Pretty normal, pretty granola, or pretty weird?
It seems that Alicia Silverstone has found a very unusual feeding method when it comes to her son Bear's meal time.
The 35-year-old actress appears to have taken inspiration from the way birds feed their chicks by chewing up her 10-month-old baby boy's food and then spitting it in his mouth.
SCROLL DOWN FOR VIDEO...
In a video she posted on her blog, the Clueless actress sits on the couch with Bear during feeding time.
Holding a small bowl, she puts a spoonful of food in her mouth, chews it up before feeding it to him mouth-to-mouth.
Baby Bear Blu clearly knows the drill, as he eagerly reaches to his mother's lips for a mouthful.
Alicia explains the process in an accompanied written post on her blog.
'I just had a delicious breakfast of miso soup, collards and radish steamed and drizzled with flax oil, cast iron mochi with nori wrapped outside, and some grated daikon. Yum!' she wrote.
'I fed Bear the mochi and a tiny bit of veggies from the soup… from my mouth to his.
'It’s his favorite...and mine.
'He literally crawls across the room to attack my mouth if I’m eating. This video was taken about a month or 2 ago when he was a bit wobbly. Now he is grabbing my mouth to get the food!'
The method of her feeding is similar to the way birds feed their young, aside from the regurgitation process.

Fox News asked medical and nutritional experts what they thought of the feeding method for humans.
'It doesn't seem like a hygienic practice,' one doctor told the site.
Alicia is known to be a staunch vegan and has also set up a sanctuary for rescued pets in Los Angeles.
Her Baby Bear Blu was born at the beginning of last May, weighing 7lbs 15oz.
When he was born, the couple's delighted spokesperson said: 'Mom and Dad are completely in love,' and added that the newborn was 'beautiful'.
Silverstone said before his birth that she couldn't wait for her new role as a parent.
'I've been wanting to have a baby since I was two years old – I'm destined to be a mother,' she said.
She wed her husband Christopher Jarecki, 40, - the lead singer of group S.T.U.N., radio presenter and a basketball coach - in June 2005 in an idyllic beach-front ceremony in Lake Tahoe, which is on the California-Nevada border.
After meeting outside a movie theatre in 1997, the couple dated for eight years prior to their marriage.
Throughout her pregnancy committed animal activist Alicia has been promoting her new book, The Kind Diet, which follows vegan principles.
There is something wrong with a parent who chews food-removing essential vitamins and minerals etc. That child may well suffer from Scurvy, Rickets, Beri Beri- at the very least! There is absolutely zero benefit to the child,it's full-blown child abuse. Where is the father? Is he as thick as the idiot he's married to? Unbelievable! Should not have custody of this vulnerable child.
